Not As It Seems

NOT   AS    IT    SEEMS

Human nature is not what it seems 
Real life is different to dreams  
Ideal people do not exist
Temptation is too hard to resist.
Human weaknesses,   inadequacies  
-  And all of my frailities  -
Are listed without end
In  Bible and   Koran,  
In  Bhagavad Gita  and  Analects  -
I am imperfect.
Weakness is not just in  man or woman
My main frailty is that I am human.
